In June of 2001, when police found a 6-year-old under a blanket in Dunn's bed, the boy was bruised, bound and gagged.

Prosecutors says they found Dunn's DNA on the boy's body and in his clothes. It leads them to believe Dunn molested the boy.

"The defendant kidnapped the boy for his own personal and sexual gratification," says Senior Deputy Prosecutor Scott O'Toole.

But Dunn insists he didn't do it and doesn't know how the boy got in his bed.

"He said, 'I don't know nothing about that kid,' " says O'Toole.

Dunn's attorney says it's not so cut and dry. When police asked if the boy if he was sexually assaulted, the 6-year-old said no.

"I believe when the facts are brought out, there will be reasonable doubt," says Nick Marchi, Dunn's attorney.

But O'Toole says under case law, he can prove Dunn not only snatched the boy from a nearby playground, but held him hostage in his bedroom for sex just by establishing the presence of Dunn's DNA on the victim.

O'Toole says another man -- Dunn's former lover -- will testify that Dunn had a penchant for young boys, especially when he was under stress.

"The thing he would consistently say when he was stressed was, 'I need a boy, I need a boy to relieve my stress,' " says O'Toole.

On June 20, the day the boy disappeared, O'Toole says Richard Dunn was stressed. His partner of 10 years had just left him. The prosecution says Dunn not only needed a boy that day -- he found one.

Dunn is also charged with possession of child pornography.

Prosecutors say 63,000 images of children being sexually abused were on his computer.

The trial could last 3 weeks.

If the guy wasn't 'gay' - he wouldn't have abducted that boy. Cause and Effect. Because the guy enjoyed ramming into the butt of another male, he found a boy to attack. If the guy did NOT enjoy such behavior, that boy would have been safe.

This points more towards the nature of sexual predators in general, whether homosexual or heterosexual.

How many young girls have been in the similar situation?

This isn't about 'predators' - it's about one 6 year old boy and the homosexual who, by very definition, cannot control his deviant urges. I KNEW...I KNEW one of the first replies would be 'he didn't attack that boy cuz he's GAY! if he were straight, he'd have attacked a girl. It's about 'anyone' attacking a child, so it doesn't matter"

Tell that to the kid's parents. Explain to the kid how 'well, if it wasn't YOU, it'd have been somebody else'.

Homosexuals by definition can't control deviant urges? Explain this one to me please.

And yes, if he were straight I believe he would have attacked a girl. I do not believe the fact he is attracted to the same sex is a factor as to why he rapes. I believe he rapes because he is a rapist. Then, as a rapist, he rapes young boys because he is homosexual. But the fact he is a rapist is paramount to the fact he is homosexual.

Okay - easy. A homosexual 'is' as a homosexual 'does'. There is no magic power controlling them; they have issues, or don't otherwise fit into the 'norm', and express that by screwing others of the same sex.

Attacking that boy is understandable; if the guy cannot control his sexual urges in one area of his life, there is no reason to suspect him able to control 'other, similiar' urges. If that man was NOT gay, he'd not have hurt that boy. I'd bet if the man were not gay, he'd likely not be so screwed up inside as to attack ANYONE, frankly.

LMAO at him being gay the cause of this...to think him being gay is related to him being a pedophile. No that is just slanderous to the gay comunity. Him being sick is him...not because he's gay. as the many people before me have said, had he not been gay it just would of been a little girl.

Him being gay had EVERYTHING to do with him molesting a young boy. Nobody is 'born' a rapist...we are shaped by the conditions we find ourselves in; by experiences and environments we are placed in, or choose to place ourselves in. If this guy had been given guidance to help with his conflicting feelings about sexuality, and taught to control impulse urges, perhaps he 'would not' have hurt that boy. The 'well, if it wasn't that boy, it would have just been a girl' argument is rather fucked up - talk about insulting.
